Modern day work of art on a grand scale. Lovely atmosphere helped by the resident monks and pilgrims from the south. They appear to be starting a rock sculpted Ganesh as well.

This beautiful place is not so well known, but it should be. Beautiful temple, great views and history and friendly people. We stayed for two nights at the temple and they treated us like kings. We even got to meet the highest monk. More people should visit this!

This is started to construct by President Mahinda Rajapaksha, but after completing declared open by President Sirisena. Very useful reservoir for agriculture in the region. Main purpose of this is to divert water to Nothern Sri Lanka.
